It is common in newborns but can also occur in adults following inflammation, injury or other conditions. **Common types:** - Congenital hydrocele: Present from birth. - Communicating hydrocele: Fluid can move through an open connection between the abdomen and scrotum. - Non-communicating hydrocele: Fluid collects around the testicle without an ongoing connection. **Symptoms to watch for:** Painless scrotal swelling, a feeling of heaviness, discomfort due to the size of the swelling and enlargement that may change over time. **Why not wait?** Not all scrotal swelling is caused by hydrocele. Sudden severe testicular pain needs emergency assessment because testicular torsion is a time-critical condition.

Some cases have no identifiable cause. **What happens at the consultation?** The surgeon examines the scrotum and may advise an ultrasound to distinguish hydrocele from a hernia, a testicular mass or another cause of swelling. Treatment depends on symptoms, age and the underlying cause. **Related reading:** Hydrocele vs Inguinal Hernia, Hydrocele Surgery and Recovery, Causes of Scrotal Swelling Aayush Multispecialty Hospital 1st Floor, Marigold Apartment, Almeda Road, Panch Pakhdi, Thane West 400602 Open 24 hours.
